INSDSG640 Planning and Design of Educational Multimedia Programs Description: This course helps students become familiar with the current uses of the video disk and other multimedia, as well as with such delivery platforms for multimedia as SonyViewSystem, IBM M-motion, IBM's DVI, Philips CDI, and with the planning, budgeting, and logistics of video production. Participants learn the range of authoring tools that exist for these systems and their relative advantages. They apply principles of instructional and courseware design and study the practical considerations involved in the production of visual media, as well as writing a design proposal and a multimedia project budget. Using this general design document, students produce specifications for the video, computer program flow, graphic screens, video disk layout, and other effects that translate the original instructional design into a usable program. They also achieve basic proficiency in the use of a popular project management software program. Academic Information: Prerequisite: None. Distribution I Area: None. Distribution II Area: None.

INSDSG650 Assessment of Educational Technologies Description: This course on formative and summative evaluation brings the students’ practical experience in computers and multimedia together with the study of the ways these technologies get used in the classroom. Students examine the formative evaluation process for technology-based programs in corporate training programs and school curricula. By obtaining feedback from representatives of the target audience in the early stages of a product’s development, the developer can assure that it meets goals while staying within its budget. Formative evaluation plans are now required by most funding sources and corporations. Summative evaluation-the evaluation of an educational product at the end of its development process-is a way to determine whether the project has met its goals. Students learn to apply these assessment procedures in a project based on a real-world application. Academic Information: Prerequisite: INSDSG 601 and Graduate Degree Student.
